This app is awesome, but I need it on my big, 8.9" Kindle Fire, not just my little smartphone screen. The free version of SkEye is available on the Kindle Fire, (which I have, ) but I need comets, (which is why I need you to get SkEye Pro on there, ASAP.) ... I'm guessing you might be able to share with me many interesting business reasons why SkEye Pro is not currently available on the Kindle Fire. However, I'm only interested in it becoming available. Thank you, much. 5 out of 5, once that gets done. For now, only 3 out of 5.

Excellent app with rich info. My experience was the app was much more sensitive than, for example, Google Sky, so on my HTC 10 I have to make sure sensors are calibrated, then it is accurate enough to pick out lots of faint satellites passing overhead. Also the developer was very prompt with helpful advice. I recommend.

Wonderfully Well Executeded Program...

This app just keep getting better with every update! Use it at public gatherings, casual observing and in my astrophotography sessions. A really reliable tool.

Still worth every penny! 😃👍❕👌😎

Great but calendar widget? Any chance you could move the link to SkEye to one small area on it?

You are the first person to ask for it (in recent memory). I have just now enabled SkEye Pro for Kindle Fire HD devices from 2015 and later generations, in the Amazon store. I don't know if your Kindle falls into that category. Let me know if it (still) doesn't work for you.

Why move the link to a small area? Do you accidentally start SkEye often now? Thanks for the feedback.

I cannot recommend this highly enough. I've now used it for years on telescopes, binoculars, (of a wide variety) and both tablet and phone with naked eye. Yes, if you know a bit about our night sky, or you just getting started and willing to be a bit more accurate and able to use the in depth star & notable sites in the catalogs _ great app for it all! If you then get inclined to upgrade your optics to Telescope or Binoculars it's able to be a superb "goto" device mounted on all of them. Yep, I do sound a little like a fanboy, but this is one of those killer apps for me that i can not envision being without now. And now two years after the review above, Still The Best. Seriously. Most other apps are getting better - but SkEye still is the best for me. Try it out.

Best app on the market for stargazing. I give it a 5 stars, although the latest version has a serious bug: versions up to 6.7.3 supported the astro_position intend, permitting other apps like Starlog to send a goto command to Skeye Pro in order to go to a location. This does not work in the latest release. Could you pleaae advise?

My go-to app for visual observing Love the detail and thought that went into this app - it's by far my favorite to use when I'm out with my Dobsonian observing...no electronics on the scope so between this and my telrad I'm pretty much set! I've used the free version enough to want the extra stars and anything else is just bonus :)

Best planetarium app! This is a great app. I highly recommend buying the pro version. I had the pro version for a year now. And this the best planetarium app without paying a small fortune for some other apps that are similar.

Hi and thanks for the review!
Do you mean it started working after the *app* update? Can you please share more details on our mailing list here:

Excellent program...great with DOBs This is an excellent planetarium program. I still prefer Sky Safari 4 PRO for wireless telescope control but this is great with non driven or non-electronically guided DOBS. I have a ASUS T-700 Android Tablet that has a compass....I also have a Samsung 12" tablet and SKEYE works fine on both. I had the free version for a long time but decided to upgrade to support the programmer and to add the few new features. Wish it had a description of the various objects. For that Sky Safari is superior and also shows images of the objects.

My new favorite app Love this app. I have been looking for a way to predict when a satellite is going to cross in front of the moon. I have seen it twice in recent months through a telescope and I am looking forward to catching it on camera. This app will make it easy. I also love being able to use it for DSC. I think anything that helps me to use the green laser less will be appreciated by all the pilots in the greater metro area. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Excellent app☺ I've been using this excellent app for a while now and wouldn't be without it!. Accurate and absolutely loaded with information. A must have tool for every astronomers toolkit. Great job. 😊

The Best This is the best App I've bought. My wish list would be to be able to get information on whatever object I've got locked-on. Let's say, another button somewhere up near the top of the screen, would bring up a little information from a database. Update: Had payed version for about 3 months, still works flawlessly.

SkEye has the correct balance of sophistication controls and simplicity of on screen display so that it has become my go to app for all night sky viewing. I have also successfully attached my phone to my telescope (a 10" Dobson) and used the PushTo feature of this app to find and observe night time objects I would never of seen without the assistance. An intuitive and powerful app that transforms my telescope into a goto without the cost of motors, computer or expensive software.

Outstanding! One thing particular to SkEye is the ability to rotate everywhere using 2 fingers, like in Google Map. Once you try SkEye it is very hard to use other similar apps that do not rotate freely like SkEye. Another thing particular to SkEye is the ability to adjust the brightness/opacity of names/labels and lines, stars and objects. This allows you to declutter the map to your liking and allows you to turn your phone display brightness to a minimum, thus preserving battery life. SkEye is a joy to use!

Errors galore This was a great program but now I can't align it to anything. Constantly wanders, can't determine directions, tells me zenith in straight down. And I am getting the same error on my Galaxy tab pro 8.4 table. and Galaxy s5 phone.
